Could you expound on this point? I don't think there is any appliance that is made only of metal that has planned obsolescence. For example a cheese greater I would expect to last forever as long as you don't buy a really cheap one, but that I feel is inevitable. and I'm sure there are people selling hand made cheese graters. In any event what I meant by household appliance and what I assumed OP meant was something like a blender, a microwave, or a washing machine. Just forging metal isn't going to cut it with these products. perhaps my language was bit harsh earlier but what else is there to say? I'm sure there are many talented people who can do this but I'd imagine they would be doing something more productive. Even if not, there is no guarantee on the quality, even if it's open source, as it still has to be manufactured. This seems like microwave gatcha to me, a game I'd rather not play.
